Portland Foreside Development Tour & Happy Hour
Portland Foreside's 10 acres of former industrial operations along the City’s urban waterfront will become a mixed-use neighborhood in the best sense of the term. The buildings are designed to meet the historical significance of the area allowing for year-round enjoyment of Portland’s waterfront through much needed housing (apartments and condominiums), office space, hotel lodging, restaurants, local retail, and impeccably designed outdoor spaces to promote communal gathering. The master plan includes a connection to adjacent lands owned by the City slated to be converted into waterfront public open space, and provides access to improved pedestrian trails directly along the waterfront. This project will ultimately connect the adjacent neighborhoods to the water and bring new life and enjoyment to this historically significant site.
